Wondering how to archive employee Google Apps data using SaaS Protection/Backupify? Here’s a quick guide on user archiving that will make your lifecycle management much easier!

Archiving users is a simple, automated process. Once you’ve suspended or deleted a user account in Google, the SaaS Protection/Backupify application will automatically recognize your action and archive that particular user in the next backup.

Archiving accounts enables you to:

Store departed employee data without having to pay to keep those accounts live in Google.

Search for user data and restore email or docs to other members of your organization who need access to outgoing employee data.

If you need to unsuspend an account on the Google Apps side, the application will recognize that change and update the user to active within 24 hours. When the user becomes active, the application will automatically start running backups again to gather new data from the user’s account. Happy archiving!
